    JUMP TO RECIPE PIN FOR LATER

    These easy Keto Pumpkin Bars are perfectly spiced and have an amazing pumpkin flavor.  They are soft and more of a custard texture, similar to pumpkin pie!  The cream cheese frosting is a simple recipe of only 5 ingredients and uses only 1 bowl!  These bars freeze incredibly well so you can always have a treat on hand.

    It's pumpkin season aka Fall and these keto pumpkin bars are on the menu along with my Keto Crustless Pumpkin Pie!

    Is canned pumpkin puree keto friendly?

    Yes!  Canned pumpkin puree is essentially just pureed pumpkin.  It usually doesn't contain and sugar or any other ingredients so it is very keto friendly.  Be sure you get 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.  Pumpkin pie filling will have added sugar.

    How many carbs are in pumpkin puree?

    ½ cup contains 10 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber so that would be 7 bet carbs.  This recipe uses 1 cup of pumpkin puree and has 9 servings so the pumpkin only adds a little over 2 total carbs per serving.

      For a nut allergy can I sub almond flour with coconut flour 1 to 1 ratio? Have you tried coconut flour? Looks fantastic.
